Yamaha developed the YHT-800 A/V Home Theater

package to turn your home into a theater. In addition to

enhancing the sound of a video source, like your TV,

DVD, or VCR, the YHT-800 also superbly reproduces

audio sources, such as a CD player or a cassette deck.
This Quick-Connect Guide will help you get started.

Study the speaker system plan (below), and then use

the interconnect diagrams (on the following pages) to

connect the receiver, DVD player and speakers to your

system.

For the video portion, you will need a television or

monitor. Refer to the 

Yamaha HTR-5550 Ownerís Manual

,

as well as those that came with your other components,

for complete instructions and cautions. Be sure to turn off

all power while making connections.
Save this Quick-Connect Guide for future reference.

NOTE: Label the end of each speaker wire (i.e., left rear, right

front, etc.) before connecting them to the A/V receiver. For wire

runs over 30 feet, use larger 18- or 16-gauge speaker wire.

Wire strippers (optional)
Velcro (for secure fastening of NS-A540 on a TV)
Brackets, toggle bolts, molly anchor screws, or sheet

metal screws (for securing NS-A540 speakers to walls)

NOTE: If you are unsure of how to securely and safely fasten

speakers to a wall, please contact a reliable source about the best

type of hardware for your particular wall's construction.

Secure installation is the purchaser's responsibility.
